The Uvex city 4 MIPS helmet features MIPS and 3D IAS size adjustment. It complies with the EN 1078 standard.
MIPS stands for “Multi-Directional Impact Protection System” and is used in helmets for various purposes. The technology was developed to improve protection against oblique impacts in leisure and outdoor sports, such as mountaineering, mountain biking and motorcycling, as well as in the workplace. MIPS is a moving layer integrated into the inside of the helmet, close to the head. It is not rigidly attached and can move 10–15 millimetres forwards and backwards. In the event of a side impact, this range of movement allows the helmet construction to redirect the rotational force away from the user’s head and brain through a sliding motion. Helmets with MIPS provide greater protection than conventional helmets.
The anatomically designed buckle can be fastened and released with one hand. The strap length adjusts progressively. A chin pad provides additional comfort.
The inside of the helmet contributes to wearing comfort and helps wick away moisture. The padding is easy to remove and washable, and it is hypoallergenic.
The 3D IAS system uses an adjustment dial to fit the helmet to different head sizes and shapes. The space inside the helmet adjusts to the size and circumference of the head.
The strap adjustment system lets you position the straps to suit your head shape. The straps can be adjusted at several points.
Before purchasing, measure your head circumference and use it to choose the correct helmet size. It is recommended to measure with a string approximately 1.5 cm above the ears.
UVEX helmets are carefully tested in a laboratory. This helmet complies with the EN 1078 standard.
